Sales Specialist - Inbound (Americas)

Job description

Note: Although this is a remote position, we are only considering candidates based within the EST timezone.

We’re looking for someone with inbound sales experience, ideally from a SaaS background, to join our growing sales team. We approach sales from an educational mindset, and pride ourselves on being product-experts so we can help customers solve their problems.

You'll be joining a newly created team that is working to build sales programs from scratch. We're looking for candidates that understand the evolution of SaaS sales (freemium model), and can apply that to building a sales pipeline. Our focus is to create successful onboarding experiences during pre-sale conversations and product trials, that help us close our ideal leads.

The ideal applicant for this role has experience with start-ups or was part of an early-stage Sales team. You are used to working with a high volume of leads and can develop processes and materials that scale. You are as comfortable thinking through how to approach transactional sales with high-touch, personable interactions that educate our leads, as you are in conceiving self-service experiences for SMBs. You'll be naturally curious and empathetic in understanding the needs of our customers.

As the team grows, you’ll also help determine strategy and processes for increasing expansions and renewals. You’ll collaborate with our Revenue-focused teams to evolve and improve our pricing strategy to ensure that we’re correctly aligning customers to the right payment plan. You will also be an advocate for our leads and customers on improving our early onboarding experience which helps leads convert.

You will:

Perform product demos and present webinars for both prospects and customers.

Refine and develop how we converse with prospective clients to ensure they are educated on what they can achieve with our product.

Understand and dissect our prospective leads to discover their most common requirements in procurement and how this can be streamlined.

Determine and lead projects that make it possible for leads to self-serve their sales-related needs.

Identify ways to improve our onboarding experience.

Develop and maintain a sales opportunity and forecast system.

Assist and determine our capabilities on Pilots, POCs and RFPs.

Collaborate with the Customer Success team both during the sales pipeline and at the handover stage.

Collaborate with leadership to help determine pricing and product line strategy, and to identify new markets we can enter and develop plans to do so effectively.

Work with Finance, Legal and DevOps to ensure the team is efficiently issuing and managing estimates, invoices, legal agreements and security documents.

Partner with Marketing to create and promote market specific programs and lead generation campaigns.

Must submit to a background check confidentially processed by our third-party.

What we offer

A remote and accomplished diverse and international team.

A chance to positively enhance people’s experience online and make the web a better place.

Annual learning and development budget.

Several perks designed for your well-being and a healthy work-life balance (Holiday Budget, Wellbeing Allowance, Working Together Budget, 16 weeks paid parental leave, and much more).

Compensation Range

The budgeted compensation range for this role is $60,000 to $75,000 annually (we do not have a commission or bonus scheme at Hotjar). Ranges are based on market research and are equitable to other roles within Hotjar. The actual compensation offered to a successful candidate will be based on relative experience. At this time we are only able to provide official employment status to those located in Malta. All other candidates will join our team as full-time consultants and will be responsible for paying any taxes or applicable fees where they reside.
